Encryption Unsuccessful

So I just recently received a new (to me) Nexus 6. Going through the process of unlocking the bootloader I forgot to do the command "fasboot reboot". I then installed TWRP and then booted into it. From there I rebooted the system and was brought to a screen that says encryption unsuccessful. I hit the reset button which brought me to twrp and asked for a password. I typed in "default_password", it did it's thing and rebooted to the same "encryption unsuccesful". I tried searching XDA as well as Google to no avail. When searching Google I found some threads for other devices but I didn't want to get into a worse situation than I'm already in so I thought I'd ask here before trying anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: I flashed the stock image (manually as the flash-all didn't work) and I was able to get the phone to boot up into Android. But whenever I reset the device it gives me the "Your device is corrupt" screen before booting into the system. And it seems like whenever I try to flash supersu or anything I'll get that message and then it just goes to a black screen and never boots into Android. I even tried to restore a TWRP backup and it still just went to the corrupt screen and then black. I was only able to get it to boot into Android after reflashing the stock images again. Is this a problem with the hardware or is there something I can do to fix it?
Edit: I've also noticed under internal storage it's only showing 23 GB available but this is the 64 GB model.

Did you format/wipe the system, data and caches - a complete factory reset ?

There are several things going on here.
1. Your device is corrupt message: This is a normal message that appears whenever you attempt to customize the device. It may also appear if there is an issue with the internal storage in general.
2. SuperSU: What version? You should be using the latest (2.76) or you risk having a bootloop.
3. TWRP: What version? Latest is 3.0.2-0. Older versions will offer to flash SuperSU. Don't accept the offer or you will enter a bootloop.
4. Internal storage: When you flashed the stock ROM you also flashed the userdata image in it, which caused you to lose half your storage. Simply wipe internal storage in TWRP to fix.
Your first thing is to fix your internal storage, which should be done through TWRP. From there, you will need to do a complete factory reset, as the failed encryption is the main reason you're getting a corrupt device warning. After the factory reset, restore the stock image, but do not flash userdata.img.

Thanks guys! Doing the factory data reset in stock recovery fixed it for me. It took about 30 minutes to complete, but now I've got root, twrp, and custom ROM and kernel with no issues.

always booting into TWRP, unable to enter into system. (solved!)

this is what i've done.
lenovo k3 note with twrp 2.8.7.2_K3_CUOCO92 and rom K3_LOLLIPOP_5.0_ROW_v1.12
i wanted to install one of the latest nougat rom. so i downloaded a twrp 3.1.1.1 made for the k3 note. i flashed the image from my old twrp and replaced choosing the RECOVERY partition.
Flashed ok, i tested a rom, AospExtended-v4.4-aio_otfp-20170708-1051- i flashed it and it worked.
OK BUT.............. i did not wipe the data partition because i received AN ERROR. the new nougat rom was ok but it was a superdirty flash with all the old apps that were crashing. what to do?
i enter into twrp, i REMEMBER that i had the data partition ENCRYPTED so i format it and after doing this i was able to do every wipe i want, included data.
OH PERFECT...... THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT. i made a full wipe of the rom wiping 4 thinkg : data , internal storage, cache and dalvik cache.
reboot and BOOM. black screen. i press 3 or times the power button and the creen goes on... i am into twrp. from this moment i never returned to see my SYSTEM!
i tested other roms, same problem. i thought it was a twrp problem.... so i installed from the twrp an IMAGE of other twrp... i tested 2 or 3 other twrps specific for my phone k3 note.
I HAD LITTLE BENEFITS with another one.... just because when i press to reboot into system... the phone reboots into twrp AND I CAN SEE IT because the screen is ON, whilst with the "latest" twrp i found...... despites the flashing procedure was ALL CORRECT without errors, at the reboot i always entered into twrp...... BUT INTO A BLACK SCREEN MODE, like if the screen was on...touch enabled, but OFF backligt, and the only way to revive it it is to press power 2 or 3 times, to see the home of the twrp.
i've also found that on MOUNT.......... i always see SYSTEM unflagged, ok i flag it, reboot into system, actually reboot into twrp and system is UNflagged, i try the same thing ALSO flagging READ ONLY...... , idem reboot, twrp.
SEEMS THAT i cannot boot to system anymore. but..... if the twrp was fault, why for the first time let me flash the phone? i really entered into the nougat rom! i found all my old apps and files, but of course it was a DIRTY FLASH, i just wanted to make some wipes.....re flashi the rom.... but oddly i missed the possibility to return anymore to the system.
what could i do at the moment?
how to flash a original image? how to see if this recovery is ok? i donkt 'know where to find my answers......
ah last thing, while into the recovery i was always able to transfer files from pc to phone, but from minutes i am NO MORE ABLE to see the internal memory of the phone.
my computer does not see anything!!! so i am fukked i think....... i did not make anything different.
i only made a lot of wipes... a lot of flashing a lot of testin into recovery. i was able to see it from my pc and put new files through pc. now NO.

solved. i flashed with flash tools an old original firmware android 5.0, then i flased latest twrp with flashtool.... and then flashed the zip of a custom rom.

BL

if u have backup then restore ur stock version or reeboot??

Cannot boot into recovery (TWRP)

As the title suggest, I fail to boot into TWRP.
I have unlocked the phone and flashed TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/raphael/twrp-3.3.1-0-raphael.img).
I could boot into TWRP using Power + Volume Up , wiped everything (except vendor) and pushed a custom rom to the internal storage.
I restarted the phone for some reason and cannot boot into TWRP anymore. Whatever I do, I end up in fastboot. Tried to flash various versions of TWRP with the same result.
Can you guys help me out?
Edit: I flashed the corresponding Xiaomi fastboot image and repeated the process, same problem.
Edit: Solved by repeating again.

In future, don't wipe everything. You should only need to do the factory reset in TWRP, which will automatically wipe data, cache and dakvik. If you are flashing over MIUI then you will also need to format data.
There is almost never any need to wipe anything else in TWRP when doing normal custom ROM flashing.

Can't wipe data, can't install stock recovery, phone stuck in boot animation

Hello, I've been trying to bring back to life this old XT1068.
In the past years, I had installed several ROMs until one day the phone stopped working (probably I made some mistakes like flashing something not supposed to be flashed on this device, probably) and since that moment if I turn it on it remains stuck on the boot animation (the coloured google dots moving...).
I tried everything. I have TWRP 3.1 installed, I tried to wipe everything, I tried factory reset, I tried to erase the internal storage, I tried to install new ROM, including a stock ROM and the stock recovery. The result is always the same: no errors at all in TWRP, but it's like nothing changes. It does not boot and if I go to TWRP I can still see files that I put in the phone years ago, after I tried every possible wipe. Imagine that I still see the WhatsApp folder of years ago.
As I already mentioned, I also tried to flash a stock recovery: the process finishes without errors but if I reboot to recovery, I always end up in TWRP.
The only thing I can do is to reboot into recovery or fastboot.
The phone is recognized by the computer ("adb devices" / "fastboot devices").
Does anyone of you guys ever experienced something like this?
Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same issue. Did you find a solution?

I never got that problem, is pretty strange, i think some zip you flashed before is still installed automatically, for example, there is some option on supersu called survival mode, if you enabled that, i think an supersu uninstaller zip could work, also you can try to install any rom, install supersu and check on supersu settings
---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------
Also probably some partition got damaged or anything, i recommend to flash an stock rom that flashes many things except for nvdata and nvram partitions because it could make you can't get signal if those partitions are from another zone

Get your device into fastboot mode and flash the stock IMG.

Hello!
I`ve done the process to install via mfastboot the stock IMG, no errors at all. When the phone reboots it goes into the previous installed rom boot animation and stays there at bootloop.
I even tryed to install an updated TWRP recovery (3.4) via fastboot. Is shows "OK" but when it loads it is still the previous version.
It looks like the phone is "write pretected".
Any further suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Same problem here. I can accces the fastboot menu via "VOLUME DOWN + POWER" but whatever I try, the red error message comes up. I can boot into twrp via USB/PC but i cannot install it. I cannot factory reset.
when I reboot from TWRP I come to lineageOS boot loop.
ANY IDEAS?

Question How do i get Stock recovery to not replace TWRP when rebooting???

Tried a bunch of things to make the TWRP installation persistent, but it just goes back to MIUI recovery when i reboot from the system.
I'm using TWRP 3.5.2 by Nebrassy.
USB debugging turned on
Correct drivers installed
fastboot devices work Using minimal ADB and fastboot
I have the file renamed as TWRP.img.
Steps i followed:
fastboot boot "TWRP.img" - Correctly boots into TWRP
install the TWRP image to the recovery partition - Happens with no errors
Reboot to system - No errors there as well
Reboot to recovery - Goes back to MIUI recovery.
Can someone please tell me what i should do?
PS: Tried with TWRP 3.6.0 as well just now. Same issue.

Try again to flash TWRP dirty and if it's started don't boot with software. You have to boot TWRP again by pressing volume + and power button until you'll get vibration , afterwards you'll be in TWRP again, clear dalvik and cache and restart system via TWRP menu

Sorry mate that didn't work. Still going back to stock recovery...

Since i didn't find a solution to make the installation presistant, i went ahead and flashed Elixir with the temporarily booted TWRP. Then wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the TWRP image, formatted data and then rebooted. Now it works.
Edit: This method did something to my recovery. I can boot to system and recovery fine but TWRP isn't able to mount the data partition. So i'm not able to flash anything or root the device anymore.
I tried formatting data, no luck.
Then tried repairing the data partition. No luck.
Changed the file system to EX2 and then EX4... Nothing.
Anyone know a solution for this?

Would that re-lock the bootloader? And if so do i have to wait 7 more days for it to be unlocked?

I used the Disable-Dm-Verity-Zip directly in TWRP after installation. Worked without a problem.

I read that somewhere too but that didn't help me at all... Maybe i have a bad zip file..
Can you share the zip you flashed?
Also, any idea how i could get this fixed:

1. With MiFlash there is an option at the bottom of the screen to lock bootloader. Just make sure it is NOT checked, and you will be safe to use MiFlash without relocking bootloader.
2. When installing TWRP for first time, it is essential that your first reboot is straight back to TWRP - then it becomes persistent, and future reboots to recovery will be to TWRP. If you do not do the first reboot back to TWRP, the stock MIUI ROM recovery reinstalls itself.

The first ever twrp install i did, i rebooted to system by mistake but i reflashed twrp and made sure to reboot to recovery.... That was the second try. I think i may have tried at least two dozen times since that but it just kept booting back to stock recovery...
I think I'll run with this until the end of Jan and then redo everything from scratch...
